Sign the Petition to

CVRD Provincial court Judge Roderick Sutton

Dear Judge..
we the undersigned want to make a desperate plea to you, so that you will release Chum and Champ back home to their family for good.
Chum and Champ, owned by Black Creek couple the late -Edith, and Jacques Manseau, were held at the Comox Valley SPCA following seizure spurred from a Jan 5th 2012 complaint of a vicious dog attack against a neighbouring Jack Russell Terrier.
*PLEASE NOTE- the JackRussellTerrier was only ever found to be injured, and there was NEVER any proof that those injuries had been caused by Chum or Champ! The JRT is alive and well today*
The two dogs are currently in the temporary care of their family, but have to be surrendered again on Dec 5th to the Comox Valley SPCA to await your decision on whether they are to be killed.
This is not a case of dangerous dogs; these dogs pose no risk to the public, but instead a dispute between neighbors that could be solved with a proper fence and training.
Please let them live..
Sincerely..

Signed,

Jessy Setano

After more than 9 months of advocating for the release of her 2 beloved dogs Chum and Champ–Edith got her wish. They were given parole with limitations until their verdict of being deemed dangerous dogs–or not was to be read on Dec 6, 2012. This was such a relief and Edith was overjoyed. Happiness and relief that her two gentle giants were coming home.
Edith and Jacques fought the CVRD every step of the way as the CVRD and the neighbours tried to have these two dogs put down. Neighbours ganged up and spoke of death wishes for the dogs publically and in court–and yet Edith didn't give up. She held her head high and trusted that her dogs would be found innocent.
Edith had not seen her dogs since January 2012 and yet everyday was spent yearning–begging for their return–Edith lived long enough to get her babies temporary reprieve from their solitary confinement at the SPCA (who housed these dogs for the nine months) they had been locked up in different cells denied contact with their owners and each other.
Tragically Edith was hospitalized prior to their homecoming–The fight she fought so hard for, the tears she cried, the nights she cried out–please let this stop were not enough and Edith could not hang on any longer. The stress was too much, the agony of loss a cross to heavy to bear. The heart of a mother broken by frustration, pain, loss and agony a heart that stopped beating and thus leaving us to finish her mission and bring these dogs home for good.
Edith died with her husband Jacques by her side–knowing that she had done what she could and trusting Jacques and his supporters to finish her mission...so let's make this happen!

They were seized under the dangerous dogs legislation, and deemed vicious. Edith fought long and hard for 9 months for her babies' freedom. Sadly, Edith's fight ended when she passed over on October 29th, 2012. Those of us left will continue to fight for Chum and Champ until they are free for good! These dogs are nothing but loving, gentle and loyal. Rest in peace dear Edith.
